Admissions at a Glance

Thank you for your interest in Eastbrook Academy!

Orientation

All prospective families must participate in a telephone orientation with the Director of Admissions. During the orientation, parents are encouraged to pose general questions regarding curriculum, school philosophy, admissions and any other pertinent information that will assist them in making an initial assessment of Eastbrook Academy. The Academy's expectations of each student are also discussed.

Open House/School Tour

For the Lower School, parents are invited to tour the school following their telephone orientation. For the Middle and High Schools, parents are invited to attend an open house or take a tour of the school once all application materials and applicable fees have been received and reviewed. Tours are scheduled with the Director of Admissions.

The Application Process

Prospective families are given an application packet for admission. There is a $200 enrollment fee (which includes a $100, non-refundable, assessment fee + the $100 tuition deposit) required with all applications. This fee is waived for those families who are eligible for the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP).

Assessment

Receipt of all completed application packet materials (previous year's report card, most recent report card, standardized test scores, attendance history and Student Recommendation Form) starts the Admissions file for all students entering 3rd grade through High School. For K4-2nd grade applicants, assessments are scheduled upon receipt of the school application and the enrollment fee (if applicable). You will be contacted by the Director of Admissions to schedule your student's assessment. The Assessment is a vital tool in determining grade/course placement.

Admissions Review/The Final Interview

Once the assessment has been completed, the student's Admissions file will again be reviewed by the Admissions Committee. After the Admissions Committee has made a recommendation, a final interview is scheduled between the student, his/her family and the Head. At this interview, the Committee recommendations are reviewed. Acceptance is discussed and course selection may take place during this meeting. If acceptance is determined, the family will meet with the Director of Admissions to complete enrollment and (if applicable) Choice paperwork. A Tuition Payment Intent Form may need to be signed to complete the admissions process.

Admissions Timeline

The entire admissions process can take up to 3-4 weeks to complete. Families are strongly encouraged to apply early (October/November) for K4 and K5. Generally, students are not enrolled once the school year has begun.
